Publisher Synopsis

Impressive ... Dworkin offers a survey of Anglo-Irish history that conveys the complexity of the topic while at the same time remaining clear, highly readable, and accessible to beginning students. He recognizes that 'Irish' cannot be equated with 'Catholic' and 'nationalist,' and rightly emphasizes the importance of region and class as well as religion in shaping the modern history of the Irish nations. The introductions that accompany each primary source excerpt keep to the high standard of the opening essay: the right amount of detail for contextualization and comprehensibility, without overwhelming the reader. The selection of excerpts is solid. --Meredith Veldman, Louisiana State University This is a very useful collection for teaching undergraduates. Much more inclusive than other collections--but reasonably priced... I will definitely adopt this book. --William H. Mulligan, Jr., Murray State UniversityRead more...
